Pediatric, adolescent and young adult survivors of childhood cancer are at risk for premature morbidity and mortality due to their cancer treatment at a young age. They require lifetime follow-up care for targeted surveillance for late effects detection and risk-reduction counseling. Yet, disparities in the receipt of and access to high quality survivorship care can exist. In this session, we will

describe outcomes by race/ethnicity in adult survivors of pediatric cancer. We will also characterize risks for disparities in the young adult childhood cancer survivor population. New research paradigms designed to outreach to minority childhood cancer survivors aimed at improving access to risk-based survivorship care will be described
